If we expand coverage of existing vaccines (e.g. #pneumococcus, #typhoid, #rotavirus, #RSV) and invest in new ones (like for K. pneumoniae), we can save lives and reduce the global #AMR burden.

Prevention is power. #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

Vaccines are powerful tools to fight AMR. In S Africa, PCV10 and PVC13 led to an 82% drop in drug-resistant pneumococcal disease.

Rotavirus vaccine coverage in LMICs could prevent 18.3 million antibiotic-treated diarrhoea cases - just by stopping unnecessary antibiotic use.

2030 targets:
- 10% drop in AMR mortality
- 20% less inappropriate human antibiotic use
- 30% cut in animal antibiotic use

We need bold global action to meet these goals. #AMR2030 #ESPID2025

I am leaving #WHA78 behind with new knowledge and a renewed sense of purpose.

The work ahead is long - but it is shared. And that makes all the difference.

Thank you to all who made this week so special. 🤍

We keep showing up. Because the stakes are too high not to.

In this moment of uncertainty, solidarity isn’t optional. It’s how we move forward.

We won’t always agree. But we can stand together. That’s what matters most.

#WHA78 didn’t shy away from the hard truths;
– Progress is uneven.
– Trust in public health is shaken.
– Many of us are exhausted - from pandemics, politics and the pace of change.

And yet... no one is giving up.

One of the most special moments: reintroducing myself to Dr @drtedros.who.int - almost six years later again, but this time as a paediatrician. A full-circle moment I will never forget.

Ending TB requires community trust, innovation and cross-border solidarity. TB doesn’t respect borders - neither can our response.

'Even the best AI can’t fix adherence. But it can help us know where to look, and who might be falling behind.'

But overall message was clear:
Technology isn’t the enemy - it’s the enabler.

Healthcare workers must be empowered, not replaced. Ethical, inclusive design is essential to build public trust. #DigitalHealth #AI

Indonesia saw its highest TB case notifications in history (2023–24). Their focus now?

Integration of TB data into one national health system, AI-supported diagnostics - and confronting stigma through civil society.

Japan reminded us of the long game:

In 1951, they passed the Stop TB law. Nationwide x-ray screening, patient registration & financial protection followed.
Their decades of experience now fuel global digital TB strategies. #WHA78
